This week I'm joined by the brilliant singer-songwriter Dia Frampton (https://twitter.com/DiaFramps), runner-up from "The Voice." Here's her first performance from that show:

You can pre-order her new album here: http://www.diamusic.net/. She joined us this week to talk about music streaming, the Ohio State stabbing, bubonic plague and #pizzagate. But perhaps most notably, like all geniuses, she hails from my home state of Utah. We also discussed how Utah's coffee shops kick ass for some reason. Like me at everything.

We also received an amazing gift from super-fan Fabian, hailing all the way from Germany. He sent us some cakes, cookies and even a Castlevania soundtrack. Thank you Fabian!

We also received a first-hand account of the Ohio State terror attack that happened last week from someone who's a listener to the show. Special thanks to Connor for sharing that with us. Plus, we round things out with a pizzagate recap. Here's the Pizzagate video I referenced in this episode, where a bunch of conspiracy dipshits confront the owner, James Alefantis, and he graciously humors them with a tour of his restaurant:

And a really big announcement: I've been working on a video game that will be coming out next year! Consoles and platforms will be announced with more details soon.
The voicemail number is: 1-562-58-I-RULE (1-562-584-7853).

Bring back DickThis show is quite boring without Dick Masterson on it anymore. From what I have gathered, Maddox was being a huge diva and kicked out his co-host Dick, which was a huge mistake because now it is just listening to Maddox surround himself with a bunch of yes men there to stroke his ego instead of co-hosts to entertain us.
The Best Debate in the Universe is terrible compared to it's previous format as The Best Problem in the Universe.

Not as good as the old show.We used to have an angry Dick. Now we just have MadCocks. Still an okay listen, but not nearly as great as the Biggest Problem podcast.

This show is a big problem.Full of dead air an awkwardness. I only lasted a few minutes before the cringe was too much.

MadCucks makes Hilldawg sound smart and coherent.Lightweight garbage. The "genius" debating himself thinks that mixing lemon juice and olive oil produces soap. He's that dumb.
